CarGurus Analysis: 2024 Ford Explorer
Summary
With 9,745 currently listed for sale and an average price of $34,666, 33.9% of 2024 Ford Explorers for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2024 Ford Explorer 3 / 5 stars.
91.3% of 2024 Explorer models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2024 Ford Explorer stands out as a midsize SUV that has moved well beyond its rugged origins. In its current form, it rides on the CD6 platform shared only with the Lincoln Aviator, and its rear-wheel-drive bias gives it better handling than any previous Explorer without sacrificing smoothness or refinement. Four-wheel-drive versions add a Terrain Management System that monitors wheelspin and sends torque where it has traction, which helps broaden its appeal for buyers who want more capability than a typical family hauler.
It also offers a strong mix of power and technology. The standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 300 horsepower, while the optional 3.0L EcoBoost V6 with twin turbochargers develops 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. The Explorer was available as a hybrid from 2020 to 2023, and that setup produced 318 horsepower and a combined 27 mpg. Even in base form, it comes with push-button start, keyless entry, and Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assistance features, while all new Explorers get a Wi-Fi hotspot, a 13.2-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and two USB ports.
For shoppers, the 2024 Explorer’s appeal is that it feels more polished and more enjoyable to drive than earlier versions, while still offering up to seven-passenger seating and a wide range of trims and equipment. It is not perfect, though: the current Explorer does not feel as premium inside as its price suggests, and some competitors do better off-road, get better gas mileage, or offer more interior or cargo space. Still, for buyers who want a well-equipped three-row SUV with strong performance and modern tech, the 2024 Ford Explorer remains distinctive.

Is the 2024 Ford Explorer a good car?
The 2024 Ford Explorer is a balanced choice if you want a well-equipped three-row SUV with strong performance and modern tech, though it does not feel as premium inside as its price suggests. It earns a user rating of 3/5, and its appeal is strongest if you value up to seven-passenger seating, a wide range of trims and equipment, and a more polished driving feel than earlier versions. The market also shows 34.4% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2024 Ford Explorer reliable?
The 2024 Ford Explorer is presented as a more polished version of the nameplate, with a rear-wheel-drive bias that improves handling and available four-wheel drive that broadens its capability. It also comes with a strong mix of power and technology, including standard driver-assistance features and modern connectivity. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the vehicle has been maintained well and that its condition matches its mileage and asking price.
What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Ford Explorer?
Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.3% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
You should still run a history report and verify that the vehicle’s past matches the seller’s claims. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the cabin, electronics, and overall condition, since this model’s value depends heavily on how well it has been kept. Focus on signs of wear that could affect long-term ownership costs, especially if you are shopping for a higher-mileage example.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Ford Explorer?
This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can be selective without expecting deep discounts on every listing.
- Deal availability: 34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 9,728 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 91.3% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $33,088, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2024 Ford Explorer's resale value?
The current average of $34,650 sits slightly above last year's $34,496.
That small increase suggests the Explorer has held its value fairly well in the near term. For a future seller, that kind of stability can help reduce the risk of a sharp depreciation hit if you buy at a reasonable price. It also means condition and mileage will matter a lot when it comes time to resell, since buyers are likely to compare your vehicle closely with similarly priced listings.
Should I buy a 2024 Ford Explorer or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2024 if:
- 34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.3% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
Consider the 2025 if:
- At $40,325, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $34,650 average.
- It adds more modern infotainment and safety tech.
The 2024 is the better primary choice if you want a more affordable Explorer with stable pricing and plenty of inventory to compare. If you can stretch your budget and want the newer model’s updated tech and cabin improvements, the 2025 is the stronger upgrade path. For price-sensitive buyers, the 2024 offers the better value play.
